Sooooo... (People are going to start thinking I'm lying soon, lol) I went to another local comic store today and bought 8 packs of Supernatural, five packs of Jericho, and 2 packs of DC Legacy. Jericho - an insert and A3 (Sprague Grayden), which I already had but makes a nice trade addition anyway. Supernatural - bunch of inserts and A17 (Aldis Hodge)...soon I won't even need my 13 boxes, I'll have a whole master set, lol! At least DC Legacy didn't give me anything...I really might have had a stroke or something. I've never had a complete lack of patience pay off this much before, it's very disconcerting. Not that I'm complaining...  ~Ariana ____________________ ~Ariana | |||

lol, tell me about it. Alas, there are no other places around me that sell cards, and since I've cleaned those two out of everything I could ever want for the time being, I just have to hope my luck holds through opening my boxes when they come. ~Ariana ____________________ ~Ariana | |||

So I was on a business trip the other day and I stopped in a comic & card shop that I saw in this small shopping center. I haven't bought much in a while and was hoping to find something good. Behold, behind the counter a bunch of different boxes. Each box was open but only had a few packs missing( when i say a few i mean 3-4) I asked the owner about them and he said he had just one or two people that bought packs and that these had not really been picked through yet. So I went ahead and decided to buy quite a few seeing as it's been a while. I bought all the LOTR Masterpieces(32 Packs, LOTR Trilogy Chrome(32 Packs) X-Men(the first movie from topps 33 packs) Complete Avengers (36 Packs). So I was hoping for a few good pulls seeing as I bought so many packs. However I unfortunately did not pull one single sketch, auto, or costume card. Needless to say I was a little disappointed. Probably won't be going back to that shop to purchase cards. | |||

After Allentown and a flurry of ebaying, I only needed one Supernatural Season 2 Auto - the Alona Tal. I was in a local comic book store and they had just two packs left from the series. I bough them on a whim--and pulled the Alona Tal auto. THAT'S why this hobby is fun!  | |||

Awesome luck! Congrats! Aside from the Jensen Ackles auto (cuz nothing could beat that), Alona Tal's is probably my favorite card in the set.  ____________________ ~Ariana | |||

So the shop keeper only has 1 or 2 customers, what a surprise! This shows that buying from an open box is not a good idea, unless you know and trust the owner | |||

It's been a couple of days since I opened a pack, so I was twitching and shaking for my fix. Stopped by my local dealer and picked up 4 packs of Trek Movies, out of a newly opened box. Got a motion card, a Plot Synopsis, and costume. The costume was an MC11 Dr. McCoy, but i have this one already, so if anyone wants to trade it for any of the other 1701 costumes, let me know. | |||

Stopped in at a comic shop yesterday and bought 3 packs of Golden Compass and pulled a redemption for Mrs. Coulter's Dinner Dress. I do find it interseting that I have seen both this card as well as Lyra's Arctic Coat listed as PWR-1. ____________________ Feeling happy? Then rip open a box. Feeling blue...then rip 2! | |||

I found out one of the supermarkets near me has a trading card vending machine and they are fairly current since they had packs of DC Legacy in there. I could only afford one($3.00 a pack), so I bought one and pulled a gold foil Atom card. - another towards my parallel set.Val ____________________ "what's that sound, it'll turn you around, it's a Doll Revolution..."- The Bangles, after Elvis Costello | |||

Bought 3 packs of Golden Compass today. Pulled Lyra's best dress pieceworks  and a Lyra's world chase. Gorgeous, gorgeous cards. It's funny, because the box I pulled these from was half empty, and I didn't expect to find anything, I was just hoping for a chase.____________________ Anne Welles - "You've got to climb Mount Everest to reach the Valley of the Dolls." | |||
